Hi again, OK, I got brave and apparently fixed the issue. I edited two files: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qluman-12/server/admin.py and /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qluman-12/server/cfgman/genconfs.py In this block of Python code in admin.py, I changed permissions as follows on lines 998 and 1003: file = CT.FileContent(name, "root", "root", 0o600, CT.FILE_KIND.PLAIN, sssd_conf) ... file = CT.FileContent(cert, "root", "root", 0o600, CT.FILE_KIND.PLAIN, content.decode()) And same in genconfs.py on lines 1636 and 1642: file = CT.FileContent(file_name, "root", "root", 0o600, CT.FILE_KIND.PLAIN, content) ... files[file_name] = CT.FileContent(file_name, "root", "root", 0o600, CT.FILE_KIND.PLAIN, content.decode()) That seems to have done the trick! Anyone know if this could cause any unexpected side effects? Thanks, -Mike
